dean&delucca to IHOP

saturday was nuts. friday was a long day, and when i finally found my way into bed i wasnt inclined to leave it. by the time i did it was well after noon. slightly later my friend chris and i went to dean and deluca (sp?) to get sushi, because as sushi goes, its cheap and delicious. as we were finishing up i went to get a cup of coffee and chris runs up to me, and hes flipping his shit!

'Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood are here! holy shit, come here!'

and they were. eating yummy food at the market a table away. we hadnt even noticed them in the sea of hipsters. so what else to do but follow them around and see what Radiohead does on the day of a show. evidently its a light lunch at the market followed by some shopping at urban outfitters. we watched them try on hats and coats for a while. it was crazy that we were the only people to notice them. someone at the cafe had them sign a bottle of wine, but other than that they walked around like they were me. just some dudes.

its weird to think that britney (sp?) spears is constantly mobbed when she has no talent and is out of her mind, but radiohead, an amazing and respected and widely known band, can just walk down the street in washington dc and no one notices. it was crazy. and Thom Yorke is kind of short. you think that larger than personalities would have bodies to match, but hes a few inches smaller than me. i found this interesting.

then i met up with my brother, sister in law, cuz and cuz's friend for the Kanye show that my brother got free tickets to. i was in mostly for Lupe Fiasco and NERD. they were definitely the best part of the show. if you have the chance to see either, you should.

then rihanna came on, and it was alright. i was into my 4th or 5th beer by then and i think that made it more enjoyable. for me, that music has trouble standing up on its own. it needs a booze-crutch. she stole 'paper planes' from MIA. at first i was all jacked about it, then i got pissed. what the fuck is rihanna, who is already all famous and rich, doing stealing a jam from MIA who is not all famous and rich?

by the time Kanye came on i was deep into the beer and had a shot with Anne and Kevin. it was geed enough, though i didnt like that he was the only one on stage. like hes the only thing behind the music. that irks me. give credit where its due. he just came of as an arrogant spotlight hog. i dont really remember like half the set.

then we left. i kept sticking my head out the window. Anne took off her bra and kept whipping it out the window and got pissed that she didnt get a reaction. but we later explained that people get excited about boobs, not bras. i dont really remember getting home to Tim's place, but i do remember diving into a chair a couple of times. that was fun! then Sarah gave me some food and i ate it and fell asleep on their leather couch, which was comfy enough, but made my back sweat. then we went to IHOP and it was the right way to complete what was begun the night before.
